For this case we have by definition:
[tex]w=m*g[/tex]
Where:
w: It is the weight (It can be defined as the force with which the earth attracts a body)
m: It is the mass of the body
g: It is the acceleration of gravity (In this case we have[tex]g = 9.8 \frac {m} {s ^ 2}[/tex])
According to the data we have to:
[tex]w = 9682 \ N\\g = 9.8 \frac {m} {s ^ 2}[/tex]
We have to:
[tex]1 N = kg * \frac {m} {s ^ 2}\\m = \frac {w} {g}\\m = \frac {9682} {9.8}\\m = 987.96 \ kg[/tex]
Thus, the mass of the American bison is [tex]987.96 \ kg[/tex]
Answer:
The mass of the American bison is [tex]987.96 \ kg[/tex]
